Control the weather. Target individuals. How can anyone get this stupid?
It starts with heavy use of Fox News and escalates to uncontrolled ingestion of right wing talk radio, NewsMax, and OAN.
I mean the government is modifying the weather in a way that causes natural disasters. They do it using something called "fossil fuel subsidies" and "meat subsidies"
Good point. I heard somewhere they're going to spend like $150B on ice too. They're definitely up to something - that would be enough ice for every glass and cooler in America. Maybe they'll spread chemtrail ice for the radar to interact with?
Most of the out-there conspiracy people just don't understand something(in this case climate change), and invent/attached themselves to a fantasy where they've "seen through the lies" and everyone else is wrong. A lot of them actually know deep down that they're wrong, but ironically they don't want to be seen as stupid for admitting they don't understand. That's why they love using phrases that indicate non-believers are dumb, followers/sheep, or that deniers just don't understand, etc.
TL;DR: They're too stupid to realize they're acting stupid.
But global warming is a hoax
These people used to be put away in mental hospitals. Now they vote.
Thanks, Reagan…

We are actually living out Idiocracy.
Idiocracy, brought to you by Carl’s Jr!
One too many bombs exploded next to their heads
Unfiltered water can have lead it in.
